About This Item
New York: Random House, 1950. First Edition. 241pp. Duodecimo [19.5 cm] Black cloth. A few small chips to the extremities of the jacket otherwise book and jacket better than very good. "In that game Jim Stanton, by profession a gambler, and by avocation a connoisseur of guns, won a store and quarter-section in Blackwater, which was little more than a wide place in the road waiting for the railroad to come and make it a town. On the stage going to Blackwater next day he met Charlotte Bisonette, the beautiful and spirited daughter of the head of a great cattle empire. Although it was not customary for a young girl of her position to talk to a gambler, she did open a conversation with Stanton and very subtly warned him for his own good to stay away from that region." - from the jacket.
